CFTC to Host Cryptocurrency CEO Forum to Discuss Digital Asset Market Pilot Program

January 27th — On-chain analyst Ai Auntie (@ai_9684xtpa) reports that a group labeled "Ethereum True Diamond Hands" has held ETH for 9 years, netting $384 million with a cost basis as low as $68.32 per ETH. Key details: 13 addresses tied to the same whale/institution withdrew 353,483.67 ETH between March and July 2017, worth $24.15 million then. Some of the ETH was deposited into an exchange 9 years ago, while the remaining 135,283.67 ETH was transferred in batches to Gemini’s deposit address over the past two days. If sold at ~$2,908.2 per ETH, the group would lock in an estimated $384 million profit — a return on investment (ROI) exceeding 4,156%.

On January 27, per market data, HYPE surged above $25.7, with its 24-hour price gain hitting 16.2%.

On January 27th, per GMGN monitoring (link: https://gmgn.ai/sol/token/i_m4TE56o8_61Wj56QgGyyB966T7YsMzEAKRLcMvJpDbPzjkrCZc4Bi), echo xyz founder cobie took to X (formerly Twitter) to tweet about "Copper Inu"—sparking multiple same-named "COPPERINU" meme coins on the Solana blockchain. The top market-cap "COPPERINU" token briefly surged to a $12 million market cap, now retracing to roughly $9 million with a price of approximately $0.009. In cobie’s tweet: "You don’t have to worry about waking up one day to find that Copper Inu has taken over the entire copper market share. They won’t be like some digital assets that pop up new commodities every few seconds on Pump Fun to challenge existing value." GMGN data further shows the top holding address (starting with A1EC...) belongs to Equation founder himgajria, a publicly disclosed on-chain address. When COPPERINU’s market cap was just $80,000, this address invested roughly $10,000 to open a position—now yielding over 10,000% return

On January 27, per OnchainLens monitoring, a newly created wallet has received 1.6 billion PUMP tokens from Bitget—valued at roughly $4.03 million. The address may be gearing up to sell.

On January 27, Tom Lee — chairman of BitMine and co-founder of Fundstrat — told CNBC in an interview: "I think cryptocurrencies should have rallied amid a weak U.S. dollar and Fed-friendly backdrop, but since the industry has already deleveraged, it hasn’t seen that leverage-fueled push. Meanwhile, as gold and silver keep climbing, the market will see FOMO (fear of missing out) — with funds favoring precious metals over crypto assets. That said, this is just a leading indicator; historically, after gold and silver consolidate, it often sparks a rally in Bitcoin and Ethereum."

On January 27, CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju posted: “Gold, silver and Bitcoin are safe-haven assets. If the market still views Bitcoin as a ‘risk asset,’ it is undervalued.”
